Schetky Says Trade in England is in Flourishing State. Successful In his mission to L.niu1on for the purpose of floating an issue of flitO.OuO in bonds for the North America Loan, Huihiinff Trust Company. Mr. (.. L.

Schetky, a member of the vw known Vancouver firm of Messrs. Koss ic Shaw, returneJ to the city last nticht. He was acrompanieil on his trip to London by Mr. A. O.

Campbell, vho cabled this morning the in otiat had been successful. Speaking' of trade conditions and the financial situation in Knslainl at the nrpent tlnif, Mr. Schetky said "I was greatly impressed with the flourishiim: state of business conditions throughout the entire country. When I left London on November 9. the money market seemed to have completely recovered from the slump brought about by the European war pea re.

The manufacturing interests almost without exception stave out flowing reports of increased busimns and the factories were all working nv rtim e. imnry PrnKperouM. "Naturally the money markets were affected for a short period as a re jsult of the situation brought about by the Balkan trouble, and the London stock exchange went to pieces for a few days. The markets ytilekly recovered, howpver, and at the present time things In general are in a most flouritihii.it; state. 'The rates nf interest did not seem to lie advancing to any appreciable extent, but the peuo of Great Britain are bet; inning to realize that they are in a position to demand a larger percentage of interest than formerly.

"one outstanding feature that struck me most was that the Kn.lishman is not so slow a1 he is made out to be. When it comes to a matter of business he is riKiit in the swim. hereve 1 went everybody seemed easier to talk about Canada and particularly about Lrltisu Columbia and Vancouver. Vancouver is well advertised in Great llritain and the rapid growth of this city is behiK closely watched. The London manager of the lioyal Hank of Canada told me that there were more people visiting Kni? land from Hritlsh Columbia than any otner province In tne nonunion.

this fact in itself indicates the great pros perity of British Columbia. Then, aain, while British Columbians are tourini? tOnuland they do not forset to boost for their country and as a result the province xets all the advertising that, is needed." I Sensational Rumor Denied by Salvation Army Have Not Asked for Guarantee of Work at $2 a Day. "You may rest assured that there is not a speck of truth In it," said Staff Captain While of the Salvation Army this morning when questioned by The World anent the rumor that the Army would bring out 400 men from the old country if the waterworks department of the city could guarantee them work at a day wages. "We recognize, as well as anybody else does," continued Captain White, "that Vancouver at the present moment is not in a position to receive 400 additional men, and so far as Vancouver Is concerned our immigration department l.s not doing a single thing1 beyond bringing out an occasional wife, with her family, whose husband is In work and settled here. "We never, under any circumstances, rbake any stipulation as to the wages to be paid.

In the old country the Army's department officials, inform tho intending emigrants the various rates of wages paid in various pans of the Dominion and let them make their own choice." Captain White's denial is substantiated In city hall circles, where nothing was known of the rumor. No official of tho waterworks department, or any other, had been approached in the matter, and all are at loss to account for the reason such an erroneous idea should hao originated. While dealing with the Salvation Army It may be well to mention a forceful plea Is being made by that organization or funds to relieve several cases of destitution whicU have come to the officers notice. Many pathetic instances of abject poverty WTe related to The World representative, and there could bn no gainsaying the fact that a noble work Is being done in this connection by the Army. Just two out of the numerous cases.

A deserted wife, with several children, has had for her sole support a daughter, and now the young girl has been seriously 111 for some time. The result is that the grim wolf of hunger Is growling at the door with ominous note, and something must be done speedily to save them from absolute starvation. The other case Is that of a widow and her family who have uot behind a month with their rent, and the landlord, not In verv affluent circumstances hlmsMf, but stronft headed and unfeelr ing, is abi.ut tr turn them Into the street. The Army funds are at, the lowest ebb, and every dollar It lias there are two places to use It to good advantage. All cases can be amply verified by calling at the Army offices and any donation will be used for the particular cause requested by the donor.
